MASSACRE OF CHRISTIAN CONVERTS


Advices received from Sydney N. s. w.,
per steamer Mariposa, give tho latest par
ticulars regarding tho attempted assassi,
nation Of Premier Baker, of tho Tonga
Islands, by converted Wesleyan natives.
The correspondent of the Sydney Herald
at Suva, Fiji Islands, writes, under date of
February II, that Mr.. Baker believed that
an organized attempt to kill him and to
overturn the government was to be made
by the Wesleyans. He sent for soldiers,
and large number of indiscriminate ar
rests were made.
MIR. Baker put the prisoners through a
form Of trial, condemned them to death and
the sentences we're executed the same night.
Before the sentences were carried out the
acting British Vice Consul, w. E. Giles,
used the utmost exertions to prevent the
executions. Things were growing quieter,
when the newly appointed Vice Consul, r.
B. Leefe, arrived at Tonga, and after an
inquiry decided that he had no power to
interfere. Tho storm again burst forth
with redoubled fury. The Wesleyan mis-
sion college was invaded by an armed mob.
We.leyans were brutally beaten and their
houses wrecked. Mr.. Leofe was again ap-
pealed to, but again refused to interfere.
Among the earliest persons arrested and
condemned to death was an ordained Wes-
leyan minister, David Finan, man of the
highest position and repute.
Many persons were under arrest, and
six executions were to take place the day
after the departure of the steamer which
brought tho above news to Suva, aud thir-
ty more the day following. Tho French
and Germans have sent for men-of-war, and
urgent representations have been made to
the governor Of the Fiji islands to interfere
and depose either Mr.. Baker or Mr.. Moul-
ton, Wesleyan missionary.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE MEN.-We
advocate temperance because We believe
10 the principle that underlics all progress
from lower to higher plano eff existence
the integrity of tho individual. :
No one can ba ignorant ,pS lhe close

one can be ignorant of the degrading in
fuence of intoxicants upon tho physical
and moral man.
Tho effect of beer and liquor is to pro-
duce disease of the nerve centres. II
these become impaired they convey false
and wrong impressions to the brain as
woll as paralyzc the motor or moving agents
of the body. In short, they tell lies.
The truth is not in them. They convey
false intelligence and destroy reason. The
drunkard believes his devoted wife his
enemy and beats her to death. The love
he bears his child is turned to bate, and
he turns her naked into the Winter storm.
Intoxicants gradually undermine the
moral integrity and leave the victim open
to every temptation. Once the barrier is
weakened that guards the path of truth
and rectitude the man falls an easy prey
to vice.
The man who lives temperate, honest
life lends his influence to build up high
or degree of civilization, and to create that
centre from which radiates those virtues
which lend charm to existence, happy
home.
These are few reasons why we advo-
cate temperance. and no one can look
abroad without viewing the crime, degrsa.
dation, murder, theft, that prevail in the
precincts of saloons: We want to see
every member of tho Knights of Labor
living out the best, the truest thoughts
and impulses God bestowed.

THE STORY OF A DEAD TOWN.

A. time aud place there was vii
lage. 1t was scattered over beautiful
green hills, among groves aud sections of
woodland, the houses were divided by cul-
tivated fields and connected by sociable
foot paths. A decrepit railroad joined it
to the outside world through intervening
miles of hills, valleys and virgin forests.
The village was happy and peaceful; its
people wero frugal, honest and thrifty.
A few of them were ambitious and they
stirred the village from it's long and pleas
ant slumber to tho effort needed to bring
to it tho main line of great railroad.
Then the village woke to new and busy
life. 1t spread and grow; new houses,
stores, ware houses, churches and facto-
ries went up as fast as brick could be laid
and nails could be driven. New streets
were opened, new people crowded in from
every direction, tho noise of industry was
loud and constant and trade rushed to it
MS centre from wide expanding terri
tory. Business of every kind was BOOM
ing, and as the village grew to q town
and the town became city, the citizens
became prouder and moro sanguine, and
hardly knew limit to their hopes.
After while troubles came. Railroads
pooled and destroyed freight advantages !;
bad crops further lessened trade; panics
paralyzed the business of the country, and
every industry languished aud suffered Tor
money; some of the o;ty's people who had
invested in local enterprises suffered Sc
verely, but the city retained an abundance
of cash capital for her needs; her mer-
chants maintained their standing and
credit and their conditions appeared to be
wholesome and hopeful.
They appeared to be so, but they were
not. The town was dead. Its people
had lost their public spirit, courage and
energy, and social, political and CONNER
cial lends had taken from them the power
Of acting together. Those who had money
kept it or invested it away from the place
it had been. made. The few who remain
ed hopeful aud ambitious had those quail
ties gradually crushed out of thu 4 by re-

LINZ went on. Inc 'oWn OLD not stand
still. Its trading territory gradually
shrank. Other towns to the right, to the
left, before and behind drew her trade Mer-
chants closed their doors and departed as
their trade dried up; as young men grew
up they went away to find more lif. and
better fields for labor ; one industry after
another was removed; fires destroyed some
and there was nobody to restore them
owners of burned property collected their
insurance money and carried it with them
elsewhere, glad to leave. The town dwin-
died and dwindled. One street after
another was captured by grass, weeds and
brush. Second growth woods closed in on
oil sides, leaving the clearing smaller each
year.
Empty stores and dwellings stood in
long rows, silent and desolate, with the
rank growth of weeds overshadowing the
roses and flowers rooted in happier times
by tho care of hands then far away or
cold in death. OF the factories, churches,
totels and warehouses only the walls, with
empty spaces where win lows had been and
rotten floors and roofs remained. The ed
ucational institutions were in tho same
condition, having peiished for lack of
strong local patronage that gave them life.

settled down to its starting point around
its county buildings, post Office and board
